About this property

Peaceful Outdoor Dining Areas , perfect for families

For us a villa in the sun had to have the perfect west facing aspect for sunset family dinners on the terrace. It needed to be close enough to fantastic restaurants & local amenities (like mains electricity, internet, supermarket, pharmacy, kids playpark etc), rural enough for open views & tranquility, & as close as possible to the surf. Plus it needed thoughtful safety & entertainment for young children to ensure parents can relax. We’d been renting villas for years in the Canaries & had not found the perfect house so in 2012 built our own. electrically heated pool to ensure warmth even in the winter. Two master bedrooms have super kingsize beds, every mattress & all linen in the villa is the finest quality to ensure the perfect nights sleep. It’s an incredible house for a couple, a family or a group of friends to visit. We hope you can enjoy it too.

Lovely villa in great location

My husband and I stayed here with our 3 children (ages 4, 2 and 1) and my mother in January 2014. The villa was perfect for the kids - they loved the bunk beds, the swinging hammocks and all the toys, inside and outside, and the pool was a lovely temperature. The car, with all the car seats, was also very handy. My mother and I enjoyed walking down to Lajares in the mornings for a coffee and to pick up groceries and fresh pain au chocolate. The village has everything that you need, including supermarket, pharmacy, cash point, bakery, cafes and children's playground. We took the kids to the beach in nearby Corralejo (which was perfect for sandcastles and paddling) and enjoyed a sunset meal in El Cotillo. We didn't feel the need to venture far as the kids were so happy at the villa, but no doubt there are loads of beautiful beaches etc nearby that we didn't discover! We did spend a day at Oasis Park in the south of the island though
 pricey (as these things always are) but we loved how you could feed the animals, so we really got up close to the giraffes, elephants etc. It was a beautiful park and not at all busy. The only downside was that the weather was a bit cooler than I would have liked, but you can't control that!

Unser Familientreffen

Fuerteventura im April 2022 Villa Sonrise, in Lajares Wir haben die Villa – Sonrisa, in Lajares - 14 Tage fĂŒr 6 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder gebucht. Das Haus war mit zwei -, vier -, sechs Personen und mit 8 Personen 5 Tage belegt. An den 5 Tagen die mit 8 Personen belegt waren, hatten wir an vier Tagen kein Wasser. In dieser Zeit waren damit auch der GeschirrspĂŒler und die Waschmaschine fĂŒr uns nicht benutzbar. DarĂŒber hinaus sind uns folgende MĂ€ngel aufgefallen: Die Außendusche war und ist wohl schon lĂ€ngere Zeit defekt und konnte nicht genutzt werden. FĂŒr den Empfang des SAT-Fersehens mussten erste die im Haus verteilten Komponenten gesucht und zusammengestellt werden. Auf der Terrasse fehlt eine feste Überdachung, bei Regen war keine Möglichkeit gemeinsam am Tisch mit 8 Personen zu sitzen. Alle TĂŒrverschlĂŒsse in den BĂ€der waren defekt und nicht abschließbar. Der Grill, die Gartenauflagen und die Matratzen waren stark verschmutzt, es fehlten Matratzenschoner. Halter fĂŒr Toilettenpapier im vorderen Bad waren nicht vorhanden. Das Fenster im hinteren Badezimmer ließ sich nicht kippen und schließt nur mangelhaft. An den TĂŒren auf der Terrasse besteht Verletzungsgefahr fĂŒr Kinder. Starker FĂ€kaliengestank wenn ĂŒber Nachmittag die GartenbewĂ€sserung in Betrieb ist.

Super maison dans un super village

La maison est super ! Nous nous sommes sentis vraiment Ă  l’aise dĂšs le dĂ©but. Lajares est une ville magnifique et vivante. La maison n’était pas super propre Ă  l’arrivĂ©e et les installations mini golf et bbq n’étaient pas prĂ©sents. Mais ce ne sont pas quelques dĂ©tails qui allaient gĂącher ce superbe sĂ©jour

Everything you could ever want for the perfect family holiday.

The villa had everything for a great family holiday, especially the kids. Loads of toys for the young ones, a nice warm pool for all and a lovely out door area for the grownups to chill out in, once the little ones were tucked up. Emma was extremely helpful, with nothing too much trouble, so a great time was had by all.

Perfect for family holidays

Hi, I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU! For our wonderful holiday at Villa Sonrisa. I visited for 9 nights from 18th to 27th March with my two children aged 2 1/2years and 4 months, my mother-in-law and husband. It was better than a home from home with books and toys suitable for my 2 1/2 year old; a potty for our recently potty trained little lady; children’s cutlery and plastic bowls and plates etc; a baby bath for our little boy etc etc. You have really thought of everything a family could need whilst on holiday. The green was perfect for a 2 year old to tire out all 3 adults! I realised I can still shoot a ball through a basket ball hoop - hoorah! My husband developed an addiction to putting whilst we were there 😂 We loved our morning caffe con lecce and croissant at El Goloso where my daughter played on the slide whilst we enjoyed breakfast. The pool was wonderful and a lovely temperature for the little people. As we left we couldn’t help but start to plan when we could next come back. Look forward to booking our return visit soon xxx

Vackra strÀnder och ett hus för aktivitet

HÀrligt hus med nÀrhet till franskt bageri, vÀlsorterad mataffÀr och bra bas för att nÄ olika platser pÄ den norra delen av ön. Corralejos hÀrliga sanddyner, El Cotillos laguner och surfarstrÀnder, popcorne stranden och Playa Jurago som blev vÄr favorit. VÀgen dit Àr dock en knagglig grusvÀg sÄ man fÄr ta det lugnt! En riktigt blÄsig ö sÄ ta med vindjackan. LÀgg till uppvÀrmning av poolen för att kunna njuta av att bada, i havet var det i februari kallt. Huset Àr vackert inrett och kÀnns trevligt. Mycket bra ordnat för barn, bÄde avseende sÀkerhet och möjlighet till aktiviteter. LÄga grindar till poolomrÄdet och trappan inne som hÄller de minsta ute. Det finns en minigolfbana pÄ tomten och klubbor och bollar, likasÄ en lite minitennisbana men utrustning - mycket uppskattat dÄ det var lite vÀl kallt i luften för att bada hela tiden. Mycket trevliga Àgare och bra vÀgbeskrivning. Vi Àr nöjda!

Felt like home

On the day that we left my 10 year old son said "that felt like home". It was clear from day one that Sonrisa was more than just a villa, we were (family of 6 with youngest aged 10 and eldest 16) staying in somebody else's, very much loved, home. We were comfortable, spoilt with poolside loungers, cushioned gazebo and even a hammock. Every need was taken care of, especially the children's with the heated pool and outside games area. The island was full of surprises from delicious cake and coffee in a local café, to exhilarating waves crashing in on the West coast near El Cotillo (less than 10 minute drive from villa), to early 15th century towns in the mountains, to overwhelming volcanic craters. Easily our favourite holiday to date and we will be returning to Villa Sonrisa!

The villa was lovely

We have older boys but did notice how safe it would be for younger children and plenty of activities for them too. Ours liked just hanging about in the hammock and other chairs. We had a wonderful time exploring the North of the Island in the hire car and found some amazing beaches. I would highly recommend taking the Catarmaran 4 hour trip from Correlejo. We took wetsuits to use in the sea and also went bodyboarding but there were certain places/days a swimsuit was fine. We went in January and we were told by locals that it was much more windy than normal for this time of year which made the temperature of the vila feel quite cold ( especially after coming from a heated house) so I would recommend taking warm clothes and blankets to relax in the evenings. There were electric heaters which took the chill off the air.

Great holiday excellent villa

Spent a really relaxing 10 days at the villa. Children aged from 4-8 didn't want to get out of the lovely warm pool and when they did enjoyed chilling out in their room looking at books and toys. Villa very stylish, some great original art and very comfortable beds! Outside eating area was the perfect place to enjoy our daily purchases from one of two great local bakeries. Larajes is really well situated for the amazing lagoon beaches, the northern tracks for surfing and more touristy towns for some shopping. All in all best holiday in a while hope to return can't recommend the villa and town enough!

Thank you!

We spent a week a Sonrisa with our own 2 boys and friends with their 2 children. It was everything we'd hoped for; well-equipped, perfect location, tranquil, great evening views of sunsets .... The variety of space around the outside is great; whether you want to chill, splash, play ... it's all there. What made our week most special was the feeling of being at home because the villa has personality as well as being functional. It's obviously loved by it's owners and I expect by everybody who stays.

Wonderful week at Villa Sonrisa

What a lovely week our family had at Villa Sonrisa. My children always had plenty to do with the sports pitch, the pool, and the playroom. I appreciated all of the child friendly details in the house- the plastic bowls and dishes for the children, the baby gate, and the baby bed. The village of Lajares is a quick walk and has some very nice restaurants. Elle was very helpful in planning our trip.

Happy Holiday's

Loved our time at this beautiful villa, everything a family could ask for. The children loved the astro pitch and the pool, they played multi sports from dawn till dusk and we had to coax them out everyday to visit the local Lagoons and volcano's. Very relaxing in luxurious surroundings. This Villa doesn't feel like a rental, it feels like a home.

About the host

Hosted by Nerea Jausoro

Host profile image
Guy & Anna Cribb, parents of three boys.

Guy spent 25 years travelling the world spending about four months a year sleeping in hotels, villas, vans and board bags- firstly a professional windsurfer and more recently as an acclaimed international windsurfing coach. He knows how important a comfortable bed is!

Anna works tirelessly with their three boys so she knows how important a good nights sleep is!

They both love Fuerte as it has the best beaches for kids the world over, perfect surf & year round sunshine, yet is only just down the road from northern Europe.
They have built this house to suit their family & friends needs after years of searching for the right one. It is little surprise it is the coolest pad in town!

My name is Nerea, Guy's P.A., I will answer your query.

Why they chose this property

"We had travelled to Fuerte many times due to the perfect weather, surf, beaches and lagoons for kids, combined with great food, real Canarian culture and no package tourists, all just a 3.30hr flight from our local airport.

We stayed in lots of villas over the years but found faults in all of them, thus not returning to any of them again. One luxury villa even had the water tank lid left off- a complete death trap!

We tried hotels but didn't enjoy some of the other residents, so we decided to invest in our own villa that could cover all the safety aspects, luxury features, comfort, outdoor living and sports access we're into.

After extensive planning and work we now have our dream villa with no detail left unconsidered.

Next is to find time to use it! Until then, it's yours!

What makes this property unique

Most Canarian villas have south facing terraces to shelter from the north east trade winds & enjoy winter sun. Ours too, BUT for us one of the most important aspects of holidays is to have outdoor dining, so we have a perfect west facing terrace with uninterrupted views to enjoy sunset dinners & BBQ with family or friends- we have not seen another villa like it.

Children's entertainment and safety is paramount to ensure a relaxing holiday- parents can be sure we've thought of everything. We've even got an electrically heated pool which is vital in the winter.

Ultimately though it's the location- we're close enough to stroll into the village yet far enough out to have very few neighbours and open landscape around us. Most people think this is the best villa in town. We certainly do.
